Abstract

A microbial composite reagent, a preparation method thereof, and a method for removing perfluorooctanoic acid are disclosed. The preparation method of the microbial composite reagent includes steps of: preparing a glucose-based carbonaceous material by pyrolyzing glucose at 400° C. to 1000° C. for at least 0.5 hours under a protective atmosphere; mixing perfluorooctanoic acid-contaminated soil with a basal medium, molasses, a vitamin B, and water, and subjecting the mixture to microbial acclimation under an anaerobic condition to obtain an acclimated microorganism solution; subjecting the glucose-based carbonaceous material to microbial loading by anaerobically mixing the glucose-based carbonaceous material with the acclimated microorganism solution, thereby obtaining the microbial composite reagent.
